what a delightfully charming oopsie from the septuagenarian with the nuclear codes 👍👍 www.cbsnews.com/news/h-r-mcm...

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency. It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism. Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic. The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

Why is the richest man in the world cutting cancer research?

bleak piece from @gregsargent.bsky.social. seems a fair number of PA Latinos convinced themselves that when Trump said he wants to deport 15-20 million "illegals" he really meant "mass amnesty" newrepublic.com/article/1908...

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

So did the “always tweeting” Musk tweet that it wasn’t a Nazi salute yet?

Donald Trump blasted a Christian bishop, claiming she was a hater for preaching a message of compassion for fellow human beings. I’m not a Christian, but if Christ were real and alive today I’m pretty sure he’d take the side of the bishop over Trump. Am I wrong about that?

If a CEO of any major non-profit capered about onstage & did anything resembling a sieg heil, the (unpaid) board of dirs.would have called an emergency mtg while the CEO was still on the stage. Tesla stockholders should wonder whether Robyn Denholm & the board are fulfilling their fiduciary duties.

I wrote about Trump's executive orders, including his attacks on trans and undocumented people, and how we should be orienting ourselves to defy fascist violence in this moment. This piece includes commentary from @chasestrangio.bsky.social and @silkys13.bsky.social.

Helpful. Action-oriented. A worthy discussion of what each of us can do. Highly recommend reading this.

Bashar al-Assad’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

The dictator's headfake: convince people you're forever... ... while secretly suspecting that one day they'll ride your statue through the streets like a sleigh.
